challenges

this week i am being challenged.
i am facing something that i didn't ever expect to have to walk through again.

the best part is that...
today, i am facing it.
looking it in the eye.
and walking through it with grace and dignity.
because, apparently that is how i roll now.

that is pretty effing awesome.

and thank GOD for the people i have around me.
supporting me.
loving me.
laughing with me at the ridiculousness of it all.
and making sure i am taken care of... and taking care of myself.

thank GOD for the fact that today, i am blessed enough not to have to go through it alone.
because this.... this one is not to be done alone.
no way.
too big.
too difficult.
too sad.

so if you are going through something hard... something that you didn't think you could face,
i hope you are as lucky as i am.
to have people in your life who love you.
and to have the soundness of mind and heart to process it for what it is.
hard.
and scary.
and painful.
because today, i feel everything.
and i am lucky to be clear enough to do so.
